Obviously they're -- and so a lot of folks had to leave a lot of -- senators have ordered the troops and then there. Really had to catch flights last night that was disappointing that that we plan and get the either everybody you know more more early.

I don't I don't really have much to say that they -- those comments are. You know it's unfortunate and -- a lot of very important issues affecting. -- our country from terrorism to the budget to no basic procedural votes side yeah. -- just so people clear and I was not. Looking forward to prohibiting the secretary of state doing his job he was very up front has the timing muted so we gave it to us and they called -- earlier than we expected. I use about a week earlier in terms of getting certifications -- That we certain -- note if you don't know we're ready we've we've just been waiting for everyone else -- finally. One when he said listen mr. certification -- we'll bring it look glamorous couple tomorrow. We several gave us -- You know I delegates won and immediately. And that they said that they need a certain amount of time so we you know certainly. We're agreeable to that that we don't want certification don't October. And you know in terms of the Kennedy staffers we didn't ask him to get out immediately. That that as the paper reported reset that they can pick the timing ghetto you know would it take their time. Over the weekend and you would like Everest base by -- get opinions everything's been. Very very professionally done and we we actually retaining. Want to their staffers so you know at the just gonna point out the truth versus you know what's not true.

Well you know part of the part of the story that was put out last night was put out by your new colleague Senator John Kerry.

Well that's unfortunate because you know once again so we are so they're very smooth transition with people and whether they knew that I was elected and they losers well known that I was in fact elect a so that they were it was also -- Ivins and -- content that merits sometimes self you have to you have to plan and we're you know we're getting to work where we have staff -- have. Can situation do we need to do it immediately and that's what we're gonna do it for someone to become bogged down that specifically for particular -- there are many many votes coming out. And I should be if I should be voting on each and every one of.

Again that's what touches that's what patches so that's all I ask you directly I mean it really did you come out early to vote again it to vote to continue the filibuster against this -- well Obama appointee to the National Labor Relations Board.

We call now I've had no contact up until wolf yesterday with the minority leader -- we found out when not.

That -- there's there's a tremendous amount of work to be done Italian. A week as a week and you're other there are other appointments coming up.

You'll notice you didn't say no he didn't want that T shirts. 1877466. O'clock and 4322. A man is you are funny man. And yeah yeah yeah yeah yes and now you're I'm a funny -- and have not yet. 018774694322. Bit. This whole thing with patches Kennedy.

I I just can't. Believe that that there's nobody left who can control these these guys just the way it is I guess at the end of it of any kind of up political or probably a business dynasty anything. Wendy. The last of these. Founding generation the last of the people who remember the founding generation are gone. And you just have sort of the they don't rich drags collapsed and this is this is what patches Kennedy -- he's he's -- he's adult. -- whole candidacy candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in early to cast his first vote is an objection to Obama's appointment to the NLRB. This is -- shows that when they need -- in the tank for the Republicans.

And patches is in the tank -- who here. I remember Morton Downey I think -- told a story before on the year Morton Downey junior remember him he had the TV show we died of one Q entries to be smoke and and he -- a brief career on TV it's it's it's hard to sort of last has an angry man on TV as opposed to being angry man on radio. And -- he he was the son of course of Bob Morton Downey senior who was a famous Irish tenor in the thirties in the forty seems to be on the or sing on the radio all the time. And they had a place in Hyannis the the father Morton Downey senior near the Kennedy compound and so. Morton Downey. Junior who was the same made general ages the kids I think it was probably a little younger than than not. Jack and Bobby and maybe just a little bit older than -- but he was he was around their all the time. Betty cities to hang out at that place and and Joe would be talking about how -- was gonna set a wall up. You know with their various states and I think that did did the -- Joe was still alive at the time this before was killed in World War II when the experimental. Plane over France in 1944. Sojo was gonna get Massachusetts. Dead Jack or Bobby was gonna get New York because of course that was really there that was where that really -- you know after home after a very early age CDF. Jovial man thought he was being discriminated against a Boston because he was Irish and I'm sure what's so removed them -- Bronx felt.

So then he said that we got to -- to -- for pet. And what he was gonna do for -- was get a Rhode Island. And he says he always said Rhode Island you'd you know how easy it has come to what to get elected in Rhode Island doesn't cost any money look at how small it is and yet you still have a vote. In the Senate just like if you're from New York or California one of the big states. Then and you know I have no reason to doubt Morton Downey junior I mean everything he ever call me about the Kennedys -- as was true you know what's -- space to see him around wanna be in Boston he. He he like me like Bob Crane we -- we just sit -- And I have no doubt that it's true that they were that they were planning to have head. Ted was supposed to be patches but then Jo-Jo got killed in World War II when everybody got moved up a state. And Teddy got to run in Massachusetts but a generation later -- Fulfilled but family. Plan. The family destiny. To have one of them take them over Rhode islander try to take over Rhode Island -- now he's that now we took congressman from Rhode Island. In east dumping on the new senator who succeeded his father. Then you don't again. The what what makes this sort of a a sort of a really nasty thing for him to say is that. He's supposed to be the Tribune of the working man patches is supposed to be the guy who represents people like Scott Brown. Who didn't come from a lot of money although we you know again he's a he's a Yankee he say he the you don't from one of the older families but. He's he does he didn't have any money he doesn't come from wealth. He was arrested when he was a kid he was a scholarship guy at that tops our basketball scholarship he ever had the dull. You know -- And here's patches Kennedy who had every damned thing in the world handed to warm. Including a seat in congress he's right now he raised last year 756000. Dollars. So we still get everything handed to me even always a complete moron. In he's dumping once I per pound a guy who. He literally pulled himself up by the bootstraps. It's just. Obnoxious. That I and I just have to think that if if there were any of the all. PM we -- we're still around they would that they were kept him away from this they would be what did you they were just told them shot up. You know just just -- make nice you know give him the block. Say yup -- hope you'll be a good senator for map for Massachusetts in the just move often to be. Shadows where where you belong to you the last thing patches Kennedy needs is any more publicity. Yeah did we get enough when he smashed car into the guardrail and they you know they took him home. The -- and it's 3 in the morning. Any almost run over a couple of capital cops smashes into way one of the barricades. And what are they -- they give -- breathalyzer test. They conduct any kind of left field sobriety tests AKA the sidewalk Olympics and all they just pack him off into -- It took a backseat of a cruiser and drive him home. And later Ronnie admits that he took a big dose of Ambien and many goes out to to a bar room for last call after taking Ambien. If it you know he doesn't need to be. To be giving -- giving any impromptu interviews -- read it wasn't bad enough we call Martha Coakley Marsha called -- Now and then that that didn't help her again that that's she's gonna be stuck with that nickname for the rest of her career. And now we does that she's -- he's abuse of -- I'm I'm not gonna say it's you know the end of the world or anything like that. But it just shows how little class these people have -- just how. How. How -- that means speed they are mean spirited Scott use the right word I think when he we talked to reporters in DC about us. How petty they are it would get its -- and we're with John Kerry in the office. He just does these incredible pettiness of the guy. 187746. Scott Brown won the seat Paul. Paul Kirk was there because the law which changed. So that the Kennedys could remain in control of the seat. That was an unsavory enough movement itself. 1877469432218774694322.
